Wilkanowski Guitar
William Wilkanowski was a Polish violin and guitar maker who worked in Boston in the 1920’s through the 1940’s. He made what I think are some of the most attractive archtops. He’s also credited with over 5000 violins and 100 violas. I know this because I wrote the original Wikipedia article about him. The article has since been improved. Its still really not a great article. It lacks a picture. Perhaps this one?
